holy shit
Original (left) and corrected (right) Fig. 4a in the paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10305-0 showing the chemical structures of amino acids (only the right one) the left figure is just an embarrassment
I wonder... 🤔🤔🧪 #chemsky
a) what program did the authors use to make the original (left) figure in the paper? Wild guess, ChatGPT
b) how such high school science level of disgrace pass peer review in @nature.com?
Note this was Fig.4.a NOT in SI

We are currently recruiting PhD students, postdocs, and a group leader to join the Institute.
If you’re interested, please send me a personal message or email your CV and a brief motivation letter to: johannes.rebelein@hhu.de.
We could be interested to articulate your genome wide approach results with our tests targeting specific membrane proteins.
The IBS in Grenoble has an opening for a three-year postdoctoral researcher in SNaX team of the DYNAMOP group. The aim of the researcher is to advance data analysis tools for time-resolved serial X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM.
For more information, see instruct-eric.org/jobs/postdoc...
We;re hiring Junior Group Leaders! 🔬✨
We’re looking for researchers in immunology, chemical biology, AI in biology, or protein design to launch their own independent groups in our collaborative, international environment.

“Moss has been downplayed by Mondrian scholars for years, but she is one of the few top-tier non-figurative British artists from between the wars, and she was the only Briton and the only female artist who appeared in all five Abstraction-Creation journals.” www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...
From the NYT Evening newsletter, headline reads "A.I. bots are often wrong, but they're set to reshape medicine". Highlighted text reads: "A new study published today found that A.I. chatbots were no better than Google at guiding users towards correct or helpful health advice. The technology sometimes presented false information or dramatically changed its advice depending on slight changes in the wording of the question. But A.I. has already proved quite good at other tasks, like at reading scans and images - better than many doctor, in fact."
This is a framing error, NYT. It's different technologies. Chatbots are not the same as the machine learning involved in reading scans (better defined inputs, clearer evaluation of outputs). Calling both AI is like conflating bombs dropped from planes with cars, because they both involve explosions.
Faire des citations scientifiques correctes c'est une choses. Mais encore faut-il qu'elles soient pertinentes.

It would be good if Nature would have a bit more of critical thinking than a LLM, imho
Mais quel argument rationnel pourrait être utilisé contre un plan aussi raisonnable ?
